Joshua, whose father comes from Sagamu in Ogun State, is set to face
Klitschko for a second time after his thrilling victory at Wembley
Stadium in London in April, with a number of venues being considered to
stage the heavyweight world title fight.

Klitschko will meet manager Bernd Boente this week and is expected to
agree another fight with Joshua, who holds the WBA and IBF titles.

Hearn told Sky Sports, â€œI feel like itâ€™s Wladimir Klitschko.
People keep saying is there a deadline? The situation is the fight is
happening unless we are told otherwise by Bernd Boente and Wladimir
Klitschko, who have a meeting this week.

â€œSo many offers this week â€“ Nigeria, Dubai, America, and also we have the opportunity of Cardiff here in the UK.

â€œFinancially, Cardiffâ€™s not the best choice, but also at the same
time, if itâ€™s not broke donâ€™t fix it, and we have that mentality with
AJ moving forward.

â€œOver the next two weeks we are going to look at all those
opportunities and sift out the ones that are real and the ones that make
sense, and look at where the fight will be. But in our minds moving
forward, itâ€™s Wladimir Klitschko next.â€

Kubrat Pulev remains the mandatory challenger for Joshuaâ€™s IBF belt
and Hearn expects a decision from the governing body this week about
whether a rematch with Klitschko can take place first.

â€œI think we will get a full decision on that this week,â€ said Hearn. â€œWe are confident that a fight of that magnitude, with the guarantee of course Pulev fighting next.

â€œWe canâ€™t fight Pulev, heâ€™s not going to go away and weâ€™re not looking to shirk that fight.

â€œIf we donâ€™t fight Klitschko, the Pulev fight will 100 per cent
be next. If we do fight Klitschko, the Pulev fight will 100 per cent be
next after that. I think the IBF know that.
